Alfred Hitchcock enjoyed making his audiences suffer, and now that uneasy feeling is coming to Netflix in large doses. The streamer said today that it will add several of the horror-suspense master’s best loved films, including The Birds, Vertigo, Rear Window, his final film Family Plot and more.
They join the filmmaker’s beloved and dreaded masterpiece Psycho, which is streaming now on Netflix.
Also headed to the service are Frenzy, The Man Who Knew Too Much and others, along with Hitchcock, a narrative feature about the legend directed by Sacha Gervasi. The new online collection also features films inspired by Hitchcock’s mastery such as Us and Barbarian.
Also on the horizon is “Hitch! The Original Cinema Influencer,” a six-week screening series at the 90-year-old Paris Theatre in Manhattan featuring more than 50 films including three dozen by Hitchcock. Many will be shown in 35mm, including Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Vertigo and North by Northwest to other masterpieces like Francois Truffaut’s The Bride Wore Black and Henri-Georges Clouzot’s Diabolique.
The series runs May 16-June 2 at the venue, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary.
